What It Feels Like Turning 20
Alexandra Fusari

I am now officially 20 years old and I'm not exactly sure how to feel. There's a lot running through my mind.

1. I feel a sense of freedom that I didn't before. Maybe even a weightlessness?

2. I think I am actually finding myself and no longer caring what anyone thinks.

3. I will never be as young as I am right now, and that's terrifying.

4. WOW, is life flying by? I mean, 20?!

5. It suddenly feels like everything is beginning. My entire life has suddenly fallen at my feet.

6. I feel like I can do anything. Travel, see everything, try everything, accomplish everything.

7. I am as far from 10 years old as I am from 30 years old...

8. As a kid, I never felt like 20 was real. How did I get here?

9. I only have a few years until getting out into the real world and figuring out what to do with my life.

10. Do I even know for sure this is what I want to do with my life?

11. Will my best friends still be my best friends in 20 years? I sure hope so.

12. I could have kids in like 10 years. Do I want kids?

13. There's so much to do and see before even considering kids, what am I thinking?

14. I am so nervous and excited to enjoy these next few years and just find me.

15. Am I too old for sleepovers?

16. I don't want to change my lifestyle just because saying I'm 20 and doing certain "childish" things sounds ridiculous.

17. Will these actually be the best years of my life? I hope not because that's a super sad thought.

18. Where do I even start?

19. I absolutely love my life and everyone in it right now.

20. I will savor every single moment.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
